Art Porn Week in Berlin

Matt Lambert – Heile Gänsje (2013)

Once upon a time porn was considered to be intended only for shady characters in dark movie houses and adventurous couples in sex shops. But the advent of the Internet opened the doors to expressions of the most diverse kinds of desires and arousal. A vast variety of new genres of porn emerged, with its aesthetic dimension flourishing into new forms of artistic expression.(M I N D P I RATE S e .V.)

“Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust.”
― Alan Moore, 25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom

“Pornography, it seems to me, is no different from war films or propaganda films in that it tries to make the visceral, horrific, or transgressive elements of life consumable”
― Michael Haneke

For me art porn is more than just a pleasure zone; porn to be called art has to have a certain level of imagination, perspective and substance. Penetration without any cognitive content you can watch at home on your 100 inch TV screen. Art porn is here to tell a story, no matter how short or long it is.

The event is curated to encourage visitors to engage in the experience, stepping forward beyond mere spectatorship. We invite everyone to be part of this experience. Join and explore your own desires, in a safe and consensual environment. For more information and detailed program please visit mindpirates.org/artporn (M I N D P I RATE S e .V.)
